hey everyone,

its been a while lol, never have much time to come on anymore as much but i try.

well any ways two times now my car has died on me while parked for no more then 2 hours for no complete reason. i get to my car and its dead and only my alarm is goes off then that dies out too. we jump it it takes about 3-5 min for it to get power back. the 2nd time it didint even get power till after we unhooked the booster box. im prob gonna take it in early next week and hope it doesn't happen again till then, but any ideas would be a great help?..

thank guys.

I was thinking battery until I saw that you have an 2011 e90.....alternator? Do you have a system or anything? I replaced the batt on my 07 335 in 11. They should last long, check the eye on the battery first.

Is the alarm factory, it's blasphemy to compair the two but I've seen alot of the same complaints on toyotas at the dealer i work at. Each time it was the alarm causing a large draw on the battery. Don't know if this helps.
